ONLY two prominent clergymen in this part of the country seem to have gone to the ex- treme of expressing opinions of a socialistic tendency in their sympathy for the hanged anarchists. These are Pentecost of Newark, N J., and Kimball of Hartford. Dr. Miner,
 who was reported to have done so. it appears really spoke in quite the opposite vein. Teachings of anarchism need to be served with beer to be convincing. Served from the pulpit it seems to be the wrong sort of pabulum.

THE article on clipped horses found on page 1st and copied from the Hartford Times is seasonable. The parties who clip horses claim that it not cruel, but rather humane, that if the animals are taken care of and blanketed when standing they really suffer less from the cold,as heavy coat of hair only holds the moisture from precipitation. Against this is the argument that Dame Nature gener- erally knows her business, and that drivers of clipped horses are not always thoughtful and sober men. A man who will have his horse clipped and then not properly care for him is more of brute than the animal he abuses.
 In time the rage for clipped horses will die
 away, and no doubt will then be considered to be cruel and dudish fashion.

 SPRINGFIELD, though small, provincial city, is known all over the country for two reasons-the association of the name of the city with the US .armony and with the Spring field Republican, established by Samuel Bowles, born newspaper man, who made it not only a newspaper but gave it an individ- uality as an ''organ," despised as the present conductors would make that term. It hasn't the outspoken convictions it oncehad. It gives one the impression of being paper controll- ed by sympathizers of one party, but looking for support chiefly to the other. But it re- mains all the same frst-class newspaper, ,and has lots of brain and tact in it's editorial con- duct. Every one wants to read it-and then scold about it. But the managers don't mind about the scolding if the paper gets read.

STATEMENTS RIDICULEu.


WASHINGTON, July 2I.-The report of
an alleged interview with Representative
Collins of Massachusetts, which appeared
in n cablegram from London published IN
New York this morning, is taken with
many grains of salt The statement that
Mr.. Collins was offered the secretarvship
of the war directly or indirectly at any
time is authoritatively denied. If w. n.
Barnum, as the interview asserts. made
any proposition involving such an offer to
Mr. Collins he must have done so face
tlously. He was certainly speaking for
himself. The statements attributed to
Mr. Collins indicating unfriendliness on
his part toward the administration are
incomprehensble in view of the we'll
known fact that when Representative
Collins left this country he was on the
best of terms with the administration.
The alleged interview was laughed at by
every one who knew anything about the
